A2: Environment

An op/ed piece in the Lexington Herald-Leader advocates for a regional effort to reduce that area’s carbon footprint. It cites several examples of other places that are making similar efforts, including Ann Arbor. “In Michigan, the Ann Arbor City Council has set vigorous energy and environmental goals: 30 percent renewable energy for municipal operations by 2010 and 20 percent for the whole community by 2015, and a 20 percent reduction in global warming emissions, from 2000 levels, by 2015.” [Source]
